A great recipe that will become a tried and true. I've made it two times in the past month - once for family and once for friends. The first time, I used orange juice and added some blackberries on top with the strawberries. The second time, I used Amaretto instead of the oj and it was even better. :) I also mixed a little of the cool whip in with the cream cheese mixture. Other than that, no other modifications to this easy breezy dessert that is now in my favorites list!09/05/09

This cake is amazing! Every time I make it people devour it. I doubled the recipe and made it as a sheet cake for a large party...not one piece was left.
